The Future of Parks

The next 50 years promise continued opportunities for growth and stewardship along with the need to become more financially secure.

Community interest in new parks, trails and programs means we must continue looking for a dedicated funding source that, along with our earned income, makes the parks system financially sustainable.

We’re planning a series of community listening sessions this year, and we'll ask residents to share priorities and ideas for parks in their communities and countywide. We’ll then use that feedback to build a strategy for a more sustainable future.

We'll post the meeting schedule here once it's set. In the meantime, if you'd like to learn more or get involved, please contact Deputy Director James Nantell at james.nantell@sonoma-county.org.
